SHOOT 3

For my third shoot I used the idea of using a lego figure again but used two instead of one this time. This shoot took place in my kitchen, the same place as shoot 1 and 2. This is because the kitchen top had a lot of space to do this shoot and was flat. In addition to, the lighting with the sun shining through the windows naturally brightened the image which look a lot better. For this shoot I used a Nikon D3200 with a 18 - 55mm lens. I used manual focus for this shoot because I had the two figures at different distances away from the lens. Therefore I needed to be able to have both in focus or have the camera specifically focus on one of the figures. I did experiment with flash in this shoot, but I feel the natural lighting without the flash creates a better image. 

This shoot went well and this is down to a variety of factors. The way the lego figures are positioned makes the image look real with the monkey about to crush Obi Won Kenobi by using a hole puncher. The lighting is also good because it not too bright or dark and this creates a nice composition to go with the image. My favourite image from this shoot is image 6. This is because the lighting is perfect which shows enough detail and looks natural, not staged. In addition to, the focus of the image is good because both characters are in focus. However, there were a couple of images that I weren't happy with. Image 3 is a good example of this. The lighting is the main problem here because the flash from the camera is too bright, causing reflections to show which I think look bad. 

Overall, Im happy with this shoot as I experimented by using another subject with the added lego character. Most of the images are well taken with good lighting and angles of shot. For my next shoot I plan on doing another shoot with the lego figures.
